Contact a computer specialist they will correctly tell you how to empty your flash drive. and if it is a spam that says " OUr detector can tell you have a virus" Click cancel, it can tell you to download a newer version but that Is ALSO a virus.

Yeah everyone needs a doorstop.
Macs aren't better than PCs in any way the only reason there's less viruses is because they aren't capable of running useful scripts which is what viruses do, use your processor to do someone elses work.

I think you just made your statement invalid....

"Macs aren't better than PCs in any way..."

but yet..

"They aren't capable of running [the virus's] useful scripts"

Restore your system, but this will delete EVERYTHING, so back up anything you need to keep.
